Here's the place to discuss the week's comp...

No intention to cause tension or dissension about the convention. Glad it got a mention

That's a good precedent then David - perhaps this is more to formalise what is already an effective arrangement?

As a contingency plan, it might be worth considering how to avoid the undue delays and frustrations occasioned if a winner does not re-surface to run the following competition.

It does nothing for the members or the competition if there's stuffing about, not to mention the time available for the competition itself.

So to kick off some alternatives, here is a proposal:

If the winner of any competition does not re-emerge to set a new comp by xx days / hours after the winning results are posted, then the 2nd place-holder is automatically appointed as the successor to set the theme and judge the comp.

What say ye?

Results are in - a photographer has won!

From the SW of our state (Otway Ranges) in July...

713 - A Portrait



...'Ullo...

We always hear about the importance of having eyes in focus - let's do it!
It matters nought were the eyes those of a toy, an animal, an insect or human. Prizes to those that can focus sharply on these windows to the soul, AS WELL AS create a pleasing image with the remaining depth of field (if any - that's up to you).
Composition and all the usual photographic considerations will also play their part.
Fore or aft DoF is a choice you make as the artistic director.
Give it a shot - great learning opportunity!
Usual rules apply re camera, EXIF and cut-off date / time.
Best of luck to all.

OK folks, results are up.

Hey people, big effort over the weekend to get something in before Sunday night now!

Let's see if we can double the 12 entries we have now.

'Ullo all,

Herewith our weekly comp discussion forum for 'Animated' - fire away!
